Chapter 50: Fishing (2)
The banquet hall was quite lively with the sound of chatter and laughter. However, upon our arrival, the attention in the room shifted toward us. In particular, all eyes were fixed on Adilun.
All kinds of shady glances mixed with admiration and jealousy were directed at her, but unfortunately, there was nothing I could do right now. Because I was in a situation where I had to treat her coldly.
I was quite dissatisfied with that because even though everyone was looking at her, I had to turn my eyes away from her.
Moreover, even I had to speak bad words about her in front of the other princesses. I couldn't help but sharpen my nerves.
The warmth that radiated from our clasped hands was a little sad.
After receiving a formal greeting that was not at all sincere, Adilun and I stood at the center of the banquet hall. The first dance eventually came back to us because Adilun was the highest-ranking noble representing the northern nobility.
I tried to look at her with irritation and coldness in my gaze.
In response, Adilun also gave me a cold gaze.
It was the first time we were looking at each other like this since we met as soon as I realized my previous life. I felt like I was in the middle of a snowstorm right now.
A slight chill ran through my body for an instant, but I didn't try to express it.
"Adilun."
"Shh. Don't say anything."
